Sussing out career options

I'm doing a PhD in algebra at the moment. I love it, but am reaching a point where I will need to make some big career decisions soon - chief among these:
*** emigrate or find a nonacademic job after I graduate? (since academic career options in my home city are a bit limited).
It's a big decision, so I want to find out about non-academic career options before I decide.
I'd really like to do something that helps solve or understand environmental problems, and I like research. But I really don't know if I could be helpful with the skills I have now.
And I don't really know how to gather information.
I've tried my campus career office, and found the universal response was: "um, why don't you be an actuary?". I don't think I want to be an actuary.
Also, I do volunteer bushcare, and have met people who work in the environmental industry there, but they all seem to have environmental science degrees, which only contributes to my fear that I may be useless. I'd feel a little obnoxious calling up a related company to ask for advice about how I could be of use to them.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could find out more? Or am I following a pipe dream anyway?

Applications are due on April 17th. More info on the flip...

I know that the typical job for a mathematician is teaching/researching at the university level, which is awesome. This website has a lot to offer in advice on this subject, but I feel that there is very little information on jobs for mathematicians that are not academia.
